Abortion and the Supreme Court of Canada

Just had a listen to Joseph Ben-Ami on CFRA, here. If you have time, it’s worth listening to because Joseph correctly identifies that in the Morgentaler decision, the Supreme Court of Canada never said there is a right to abortion. They said it is up to Parliament to decide. (This came up again over the ruling on assisted human reproduction.)

One of the oft-repeated myths of the pro-choice camp is that the Supreme Court of Canada ruled there is a right to abortion. Since this is not true, I will take every opportunity to remind my fellow Canadians that they said no such thing!
